I can't believe it's been such a long time since I wrote in my blog! I probably transferred all the energy I spent on these kinds of entries into a series of poems I began writing during the summer of 2013. I have a whole series of poems based on living in our cabin in Black Mountain, and the people who live in this area. What's happened? My husband killed his first copperhead, this action taken by a guy who, as a kid, lived in the projects in Queens, and later, in Miami Beach! I love livlng here, love teaching in this area, which is full of wonderful people, with a strong interest in the intangibles. Lucky Life, as Gerry Stern would say.
